One OF the resolutions adopted by

clares "that railroad freights and
fares should he greatly reduced so that
railroad capital shall bear its inst
share of the depression now so serious

little more definitely. the demand OF
the farmers is that railroads should
reduce their charges to correspond
with the low prices of farm products,
which would he to charge only in pro-
portion to the capital actually in

prevailing depression.
No person of common intelligence
can be deceived by the statistics
brought forward to prove that the
average railroad dividend amounts to
only 4 per cent on invested capital.
The principal sum in this calculation
includes two thousand millions of
watered stocks and bonds, and when
this mass of fictitious capital is elm.
mated it will be found that in proper
tiOn to the actual investment the
railroads are earning. or rather secur-
ing, vastly more profit than any other
great interest in the country, including
agriculture, which is the greatest OF
all. The best authorities put this
false capitalization at two thousand
millions of dollars, and estimate that
the annual, undue, unearned tax on
